Description

Woven to go over a horse these rare pieces make great display objects. The red field overlaid on a midnight background colour have a three dimensional quality and are full of symbolism and the mystery of the Orient. The single line of red knots traversing the blue field is in no way a mistake and yet the exact reasons for including it escape the obvious answers. Is it simply to provoke your thoughts and give the eye something to catch...? It is very effective, as is the simply undulating field of blue in too many shades to describe. Marvellous.

3'2" x 3'1"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Seneh Saddle Rug to the 1890s.

FAQs

Seneh rugs originate from the town of Sanandaj in the Kurdistan province of western Iran. Historically, weavers in this region are renowned for producing finely knotted, highly detailed geometric and floral carpets using traditional asymmetric knots.

These pieces are typically constructed with a handspun wool pile on cotton or wool warps and wefts. The weaving features a very fine asymmetric knot count, often utilizing natural vegetable dyes derived from plants, roots, and minerals.

Authenticity is identified by examining the tightness of the weave, the flexibility of the foundation, the characteristic diamond or medallion motifs, and the natural abrash or subtle colour variations in the wool pile indicative of natural dyeing.

An antique rug adds texture and historical contrast to contemporary spaces. Due to its smaller scale, it can be framed and displayed as textile art, placed on a tabletop, or used as a striking accent piece on hardwood floors.

Preservation requires regular, gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and protection from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent natural dye fading.
